The landlord has multiple personalities and wants everyone to pay him.

As evening fell, things got busy again at the An family villa.

Aunt Ye Shu is also unable to leave due to work, so she will be going back tomorrow.

Grandma Ye Shu and Ye Guoqiang had originally planned to go home together, especially Ye Guoqiang, who had been staying at Anjia's house for quite a while and felt really bad about it.

Although the living and dining conditions here are indeed much better than at home, it's not his own home after all, and he still feels that his home is more comfortable.

When Ye Guoqiang told An Jianxing and his wife that he was leaving the next day, they absolutely refused to agree and were practically ready to lock the door with a chain.

Since it was the old lady's first time visiting Nancheng, she had to do some sightseeing; she couldn't just leave on a whim.

Unable to refuse their kind invitation, Aunt Ye Shu couldn't stay due to work, so Tang Xiaotao and Ye Guoqiang stayed to keep the old lady company for a few more days.

If we stay here, another problem immediately arises: where will we stay for the night?

With three more people, we can't just cram them into the hotel.

The old lady is so old and her legs aren't very strong anymore. It's too much of a hardship for her to run back and forth every day.

However, it wasn't that worrying. During the Lunar New Year, there were even more people living in the Ye family's small house than there are now, and they still managed to stay there.

Now that we've arrived at this villa, the house is much more spacious than the bungalow, so there's no shortage of room to live there.

Ye Shuxia, Qing, and Qin Lili continued to work at Yunduanyuan, while An Jianxing and Shen Jingwan still lived in the master bedroom.

Xiao Tao considered that since they were young people, the child needed to have his own privacy, so it was a good idea for him to stay in Xiao Xue's bedroom.

The old lady and Aunt Ye Shu will make do for the night and stay in the guest room that Ye Guoqiang used to stay in.

It was supposed to be a makeshift room, but there was a double bed in the guest room, which was enough.

In the end, Ye Guoqiang stayed in the study. Shen Jingwan and An Jianxing had already tidied up the study, and it had everything he needed, such as air conditioning and windows, so he wouldn't suffer at all.

An Jianxing also found a folding cot in the storeroom and set it up in the study.

Ye Guoqiang was used to being lazy and said that this folding bed was enough.

But An Jianxing refused to agree, insisting on doing his best to provide his in-laws with the best sleeping environment, and even brought out a rather large latex mattress from the storage room.

The mattress was incredibly heavy, so Ye Guoqiang went to help carry it. The two men struggled to carry it to the study, and then they realized they had been careless.

This cot has thin arms and legs. As soon as the mattress is placed on it, the cot immediately makes a creaking sound that is not appropriate for an object, as if it is about to collapse.

This won't do. Just the mattress alone is already like this. Ye Guoqiang wouldn't even be able to sit on it properly before the bed collapses.

Ye Guoqiang was still saying that he didn't need a mattress, sleeping on a folding bed was enough.

But An Jianxing's stubbornness seemed to kick in. How could a boss who owns a company not even be able to handle a mattress and a cot?

Seeing how serious An Jianxing was, it seemed that the boy inside Ye Guoqiang was also awakened. The two men, who were almost a hundred years old combined, squatted down and started to study it.

They used every trick in the book: measuring with a tape measure, calculating with a pen.

They tried all sorts of things, like finding something to put under the bed for support, or tying the bed legs with rope for reinforcement... They tried thirteen different methods, but still couldn't figure out a solution.

Finally, as Shen Jingwan passed by the door with a cup of hot water, she said casually:

"Why bother with that broken bed? Why not just put the mattress on the floor? It's not cold on the floor."

……

These words were truly a wake-up call.

It really proves the saying: if you're going in the wrong direction, all your efforts will be in vain.

Both of them felt as if their intelligence had been rubbed into the ground.

Ye Guoqiang couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up from the ground with a smile, though he looked somewhat embarrassed.

An Jianxing remained squatting beside the folding bed, tightly tying the rope around it.

Shen Jingwan stood at the door and looked at An Jianxing, asking:

"What are you still doing?"

An Jianxing didn't even look up, still struggling with his hands, his stubborn temper flaring up again:

"You don't understand, this is a man's dignity."

Hearing this, Shen Jingwan didn't say anything more. She walked over, grabbed An Jianxing by the back of the collar, and dragged him out of the study. As she left, she said to Ye Guoqiang:

"Brother Ye, get some rest. I've put your bedding on the table over there."

After saying that, he closed the door and left.

Ye Guoqiang could still hear An Jianxing complaining outside the door from inside the house:

"Hey, hey, be gentle... this rope is still new..."

"New my ass! I think you're just bored!"

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In the underground parking garage of Yunduanyuan, Qin Lili parked her car, turned off the engine, and got out. Turning around, she saw Ye Shu helping Xia Qing move out.

Xia Qing had Ye Shu take care of her all afternoon, giving her brown sugar water and black chicken soup, which helped her recover quite a bit, at least she could walk on her own now.

However, her walking posture was still a little awkward, and she was leaning on Ye Shu, who was supporting her as she moved forward.

Qin Lili locked the car door and followed behind, watching the two of them in this position. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xia Qing turned around and glared at her. Qin Lili shrugged, then seemed to remember something, quickened her pace, caught up with the two, came to Xia Qing's other side, and directly put her upper body around Xia Qing's, then said to Ye Shu:

"Oh dear, I think I left my phone on the passenger seat. Comrade Xiao Ye, could you please show your spirit of serving the people and go get it for me?"

As he spoke, he handed the car keys in his hand to Ye Shu.

Ye Shu glanced back, and seeing it was only a few steps away, asked:

"Why don't you take it yourself?"

"My feet hurt."

Qin Lili lifted one leg and swung it, then looked extremely aggrieved:

"I wore those high heels as a bridesmaid yesterday. I haven't worn those things in ages, and now my feet hurt when I walk. Be good, go quickly, and I'll treat you to milk tea after you get them."

Without waiting for Ye Shu to refuse, she shoved the keys into Ye Shu's hand and pushed him toward the car.

Ye Shu had no choice but to turn around and walk back after glancing at Xia Qing.

After Ye Shu walked away, Xia Qing turned and glared at Qin Lili, saying fiercely:

"Qin Lili, I'm warning you, stop being so affectionate with my Ye Shu!"

Seeing Xia Qing protecting her food, Qin Lili was not afraid at all; instead, she smiled.

"Tch, who's going to fight you for her? Ye Shu isn't my type."

After saying that, she looked down at Xia Qing, who was still leaning against her and struggling to take a step, and smiled:

"Well, you're quite delicate, aren't you? Do you really think I can't tell? You're quite the actor."
